PGA DFS Showdown Picks & Projections: The Open Championship - Round 2

PGA DFS Picks & Projections on DraftKings for Round 2 of The Open Championship
The last major of the year is officially underway. I love The Open Championship for so many reasons, but one of my favorites is that from start to finish, each of the first 2 rounds is about 15 hours. Whether you want to stay up late, wake up early, or sleep in, you still have the chance to watch plenty of golf.
The course is extremely firm and fast. Despite very little wind on Thursday, there were good scores to be had. Jackson Suber currently leads the way at -5, but plenty of golfers are in the mix. We have another good day of weather lined up for Round 2, although the worst of the wind appears to be in the afternoon.
I don’t recommend fading the afternoon golfers, but I’m leaning toward a more morning-focused stack.
